Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 3/6/2013. As always, check with your retailer for availability, as not all releases may be on sale in all areas at the same time.

After a bizarre family reunion, Hellboy can barely process the new information, and the things he’s done, since arriving in Hell. But Mike Mignola has one more revelation before concluding this initial monthly run of the story we’ve been building to since 1994. Check out ‘Hellboy in Hell’ #4!

And so it begins, with ‘The Age of Ultron’ #1. For years the heroes of the Marvel Universe have lived in fear that the artificial intelligence known as Ultron would one day evolve to fulfill its desire to wipe out all organic life and take over the Earth — that day has arrived. This massive 10-part Marvel Universe-spanning event is brought to you by Eisner award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis and comics legend Bryan Hitch.

Mount up bronies, ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’ #4 is out this week. Their epic quest nearing its end, the Mane 6 reach the Changeling Kingdom and find themselves at the mercy of Queen Chrysalis! A sinister offer threatens to tear the group apart before they can save the day. Will friendship prevail over the Queen’s nefarious plan?

From Oni Press comes ‘Helheim’ #1. During the age of the Vikings, savage wild men and dark creatures beset a small settlement. A brave war party stands as guardians of the helpless villagers, but they are no match for the horrors rising up around them. One of the warriors, a young hero named Rikard, will pay the ultimate price in battle… but his fight is far from over. A gothic horror story of witchcraft, night creatures, and the undead.

All this plus… ‘Superior Spider-Man’ #5 – “Death Sentence!” How many have to die before the Superior Spider-Man will kill a super villain? Spider-Man versus Massacre– with hundreds of lives in the balance.

Brian Tudor

One of Brian’s earliest Sci-Fi memory is the Rancor from Jedi, even before that he could be seen running around the yard with an imaginary Luke Skywalker and stuffed Chewbacca in tow, fighting the dark side. Frank Herbert’s Dune further refined his Sci-Fi taste and the love affair was set in place. It was the discovery of comic books and superheroes that put him over the edge. After a brief hiatus from comics, Kevin Smith’s run on Green Arrow brought him back to the land of tights, flight, super speed and gadgets galore! Currently, his home office is littered with action figures, Lego, and, comic book, all threatening to overtake him at any time.
